A Travis Kelce.

Every player is a composite. Whether he creates runs or prevents them, both have value. Get players who offer the most overall value, you don't focus on just one obvious factor.

That's 12

The market will decide his worth, not his agent.

Wiseman, in no way, shape or form, fills a need, no one needs five centers. However, just based on talent, on ceiling, you'd take Wiseman over Bey all day long. What the hell is Weaver doing? Maybe just upgrading young talent wherever he can to be sorted out later. Maybe just hedging his bets that one of them fulfills his potential and becomes a star.

Petzold seems especially prolific.

What are you complaining about? That's their job. Most fans want to read about players, especially ones that aren't too familiar. What do you want them to write about?

Based on what? Hurts was 21 and still on a developmental curve when he came into the league. If Hooker had that type of ceiling he would have realized it by now and not be knocking around in college for six years.

True, I'm speaking of the Callis, Mayo, Cooper and Callazo'sof the industry.

I don't dispute that the Tigers system is ranked very low, but they were ranked top five only a year or two ago (not by Law), so things can change quickly. Also, Law is one of the least reputable and knowledgeable of the prospect analysts.

You should be re-signed to that.

I believe the injury was more of a factor in Okudah's play than anything.

Browns value is as a versatile back up, you don't really want him as your starting right guard.

It's not an exciting trend, but there's not enough data to be determinative.

His luck will stabilize over time.

Torkelson suffered poor luck compared to Greene, and any discussion of production stats like WAR and OPS+ that don't acknowledge that are disingenuous. BABIP will stabilize over time. Both will have career BABIP a bit over .300, Greenes should be higher, but not that much.

Whereas Torkelson improved his k-rate from 25% to 21%, and hard hit rate from 29% to 37% from the first half to the second. He also suffered a bit babip wise.

I'm not sure what he's saying, but I'm all for letting kids fully develop before bringing them up. The bigs will shred you if you are not ready.

It's a matter of evaluation. Hopefully you're not just churning, but upgrading.

If they had brought him up and played him, would they have kept him on the 40 prior to the Rule 5? Hell no. If LA dfa’d him would you want to claim him? Hell no. Would he be any valuable part to the Tigers future fortunes? No. Is he a journeyman who may produce some value at certain times? Sure, but you can say that about a thousand other guys.

Yes, but it’s all picking retro nits.

He's a 31 yo journeyman who outpunched his weight for half a season. It happens. He had little value then and he has little value now.

Trayce Thompson had a long track record, and was not considered to be anything more than a fringe player by anyone. The Dodgers acquired him basically as a temporary bandaid who ended up outplaying that role. Grossman was coming off a very solid year, and like most of the team went into an inexplicable funk. It was not unreasonable to think he could play his way out of it. I swear you guys obsess about the goofiest stuff.

He won't make it to the second round if he's healthy. If he's not healthy, who knows!
